RESTRAINING FACTORS

Poor User Experiences are Caused by Environmental Factors, Which Limit Market Growth

GPS tracking devices for outdoor activities are used to keep an eye on something. The GPS signal can be weakened by environmental factors such dense vegetation, towering structures, dense cloud cover, and rain. As a result, occasionally findings or tracking are delayed. The GPS tracking unit needs a direct line of sight between the receiver and the satellite in many devices or systems; otherwise, the signal may be weakened. To obtain a competitive edge, many suppliers and producers also sell GPS monitoring gadgets that are cheap and of low quality, which leads to a bad user experience. These constraints limit the outdoor sports GPS device market growth in some regions.
